  • Our take on the 2/3 NM-B Wire w/ Ground

    This is 2-gauge, 3-conductor non-metallic sheathed cable with a bare ground, the heavy-duty end of the NM-B line used for large residential branch circuits and feeder runs. Copper conductors are PVC-insulated with a nylon jacket rated 90°C dry, and the whole assembly is rated 600 volts, though code limits ampacity to the 60°C column. It meets UL 83, UL 719, ASTM and federal A-A-59544 specs and is lead-free and RoHS compliant. It is the cable for high-current loads like ranges, subpanels and large HVAC equipment, where lighter 6, 8 and 10 gauge NM-B will not carry the load.

    About the 2/3 NM-B Wire w/ Ground

    This is 2 AWG Type NM-B non-metallic sheathed cable with three conductors plus a ground. It is used in normally dry installations in residential wiring, as branch circuits for outlets, lighting and other residential loads. It may be fished through masonry or tile walls where it is not exposed or subject to excessive moisture or dampness. It is equivalent to Romex NM-B.

    The conductors are stranded annealed soft bare copper. Insulation is color-coded PVC with a nylon covering that meets the thickness required of Type THHN. The ground is soft bare copper. A 30 mil color-coded PVC sheath is applied over the completed assembly.

    The cable is rated at 600 volts. Its conductor temperature rating is 90°C dry, but its ampacity is limited to 60°C under NEC 2008 and NEC 2011. Its applications are outlined in NEC 2008 and NEC 2011 Article 334. The cable is lead free and RoHS compliant.

    Questions and answers

    What is 2/3 NM-B wire used for?
    It is non-metallic sheathed cable for dry residential wiring: feeder runs to subpanels and high-current branch circuits such as ranges, large HVAC equipment and other big loads. It is rated 600 volts.
    How many amps can 2/3 NM-B carry?
    The conductors are rated 90°C dry, but the NEC limits NM-B ampacity to the 60°C column, so the circuit must be sized to that lower figure. Have a licensed electrician confirm the ampacity for your run.
    Is this the same as Romex?
    It is equivalent to Romex NM-B: two insulated current-carrying conductors plus a bare ground in a PVC sheath. The sheath is color coded and the conductors are color coded.
    Can it be used outdoors or in wet locations?
    No. NM-B is for normally dry installations. It may be fished through masonry or tile walls where it is not exposed or subject to excessive moisture or dampness.
    What lengths are available?
    Cut lengths run from 25 ft up to 2500 ft. Longer put-ups are available by special request.
    Does it meet code and safety standards?
    Yes. It meets or exceeds applicable ASTM specs, UL 83, UL 719, federal specification A-A-59544 and NEC requirements, and it is lead-free and RoHS compliant.
